Dawson Trotman, founder of the Navigator ministry provides and illustration that highlights the exponential growth possible through discipleship:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One person leads another person in discipleship.\u00a0 Each person then starts teaching another in the following six months. \u00a0At the end of the year, there are just four of them. \u00a0So the four of them in the next six months each get another man or woman; that makes eight at the end of a year and a half. \u00a0They all go out after another and at the end of two years there are 16 people. \u00a0At the end of three years there are 64; the 16 have doubled twice. \u00a0At the end of five years there are 1,024. \u00a0At the end of fifteen and a half years there are approximately 2,147,500,000.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Repentance means to change your mind, to change direction from going away from God in sin then turning back to God through Jesus resulting in forgiveness of sin.\u00a0 When that changed life in Jesus Christ is reproduced in another person (disciple), the discipleship process has taken place.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jesus invites people who are weary and carry heavy burdens to come to Him and find rest, to come under His leadership\u00a0 and walk in His strength and direction and learn from Him (be His disciple) to find rest for their souls (Matthew 11:28-30).<\/p>\n

Faith That Moves invests in the lives of individuals in homelessness with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, leading individuals to faith in Jesus Christ, their lives would be transformed (Romans 12:2), and be rooted and built up in Him (Colossians 2:6-7), to develop faith that mountains out of their lives, get their man or woman and begin discipleship with him or her, as we see homelessness disappear.<\/p>\n
